Description

All the world's a stage, but it may be curtains for bookbinder Quinn Caine's brother if she can't bring the lights down on an actor's killer, in this mystery perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Kate Carlisle. Just when everything is returning to the calm that Quinn Caine and her sidekicks, Ruff Barker Ginsburg and Sister Daria, are used to in their beloved town of Vienna, a Broadway star crash-lands into their peace and quiet. Former 'player', Chad Frivole, is Vienna's prodigal son-the once notorious lothario has returned a Broadway star, ready to make a different kind of mark on his hometown. Not everyone is celebrating the Tony-award-winner's return. Chad's a triple threat-with a cast of characters lining up to seek their revenge on him. So, when he turns up dead in his car, trapped with a sack full of snakes, Quinn can't say she's surprised-but promises handsome detective Aiden Harrington that she's staying out of this local mystery. That is, until someone starts threatening her brother's life. It's true, Sebastian 'Bash' Caine used to be a womanizer, just like Chad. And the killer doesn't seem to care that he's not that man anymore. Bash Caine is in the killer's sights, and unless Quinn and her crew can find the killer in time, whoever it is will drag her brother into his final act on this mortal coil.
